Overall: Fantastic hook. Article is new/long enough, hook is cited, there are no copyright violations. Most of the sources in this article require a subscription because of their published dates so other claims are accepted in good faith. Morogris (✉ • ✎) 06:00, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

- @Morogris: The newspaper articles are clippings you can click on. The Broadcasting material but not the other articles are available online but not linked from that source because of some uncertainty over the copyright status (the link above is from said source).

Hook is on page 100 of the source, upper right corner paragraph. Lightburst (talk) 17:53, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
